Hundreds Of people remember tho win
some emile with which she greeted the
packed house at the Grand every night
for week last yoar. For a week or 30
past her picture in all eorts Of costumes
and in all styles OF printing han smiled
from the bill boards and windows.
This is tho Corinno Of the stage-the
Tom Tom Of Arcadia" The other Co.
rinne ia q different person. Tonight at
the Grand, and every night this week, tho
audiences will 500 her as precocious and
accomplished artistic. Last night an III.
TELLlaENcER reporter saw her at the
Mcclure House as demure and lady. like
girl OF fourteen, whose expressive features,
ehort dark hair and childish form make
her look at least two years younger.
There have been few stars who have
created the enthusiasm in Wheeling that
Oorinns has. But judging from tho eto.
ries printed in the press Of other cities her
reception here must geem tame to her. At
Trenton, N. j., the police bad to interfere
to prevent admirers more enthusiastic
than considerate from cruahing her
and Mrs. kimball. Iu Boston, her home,
her annual engagement Is one ovation
from beginning to end.
"You eee," said Mrs. Kimball last even
ing, show thoroughly Scotch she is: abe

improved. Corinne now does the Scotch
sword dance to the music Of a real Scotch
bagpipe, played by real piper in native
costume. ~
Oorinne says she has dwarf pig in
"Arcadia" now that is marvel of intelli.
gence, and that is standing argument in
favor Of prohibition. After all sorts OF e1.
pedients had been tried to prevent pigs
from growing too big to use, the idea Of
feeding little pig beer and whisky YVES
suggested, and on this diet the present
porcine member OF the csst has been
etuntcd TO very convenient hoglet.
Possibly "The Princess OF Tstb'z,nde"
may De put on hers the last Of the week.
1t requires iull cast, however, and sev.
eral of the members arc 90 uuder the
weather that Mira. Kimball, the manager,
could not say definitely Last evening,
